Technical Abstract

Embodiments of this disclosure provide a signal transmission method and a communications device. The signal transmission method includes: obtaining auxiliary information of a synchronization signal of a preset operation frequency band; and transmitting or receiving the synchronization signal based on the auxiliary information, where the preset operation frequency band is an operation frequency band of a preset service, and the preset service is a sidelink service, an mMTC service, an NB-IoT service, or an IAB service; or the preset operation frequency band is an unlicensed frequency band.

Patent Claims
7 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The signal transmission method according to claim 1, wherein the communications device is a terminal, and the auxiliary information is obtained in at least one of the following manners: being transmitted by a network-side device, being pre-configured on the terminal, being specified by the protocol, or being transmitted by another terminal.

3

3. The signal transmission method according to claim 2, wherein when the auxiliary information is transmitted by the network-side device, the network-side device uses system information, a radio resource control (RRC) message, downlink control information (DCI), or a physical downlink shared data channel (PDSCH) to carry the auxiliary information.

4

4. The signal transmission method according to claim 1, wherein the auxiliary information further comprises related information of the synchronization signal.

6

6. The signal transmission method according to claim 1, wherein when the auxiliary information comprises the pattern information of the synchronization raster, the step of transmitting or receiving the synchronization signal based on the auxiliary information further comprises:-transmitting or receiving the synchronization signal on the first synchronization raster.

12

12. The signal transmission method according to claim 1, wherein the reference position is a lowest frequency domain position, a highest frequency domain position, or a central position of a carrier used for transmitting the synchronization signal.

14

14. The communications device according to claim 13, wherein the auxiliary information further comprises related information of a synchronization signal.

15

15. The communications device according to claim 13, wherein when the auxiliary information comprises the pattern information of the synchronization raster, to transmit or receive the synchronization signal based on the auxiliary information, the processor is further configured to: transmit or receive the synchronization signal on the first synchronization raster.
